Bolt 3 battery drain while navigating with a route loaded
Did a 80km gravel route yesterday in just over 3 hours. When I started my Bolt 3 was at 65% and at the end it was at 10%.
I have segments off, only street names enabled from layers and the unit is paired to a iPhone. Most of the time I was on my usual workout screen with power, speed, hr and cadence. I spent less than 5 minutes in the actual map screen during the ride.
Map was drawn using BRouter web client, saved as GPX with waypoints enabled and imported using the Wahoo app.
When I am riding with no route loaded and not using navigation battery life is fine, I estimate at somewhere around 20hours.
Anyone else have this or have you done something to increase battery life while navigating.
